| Unit Overview | Related Units |
| A comparison of various plants, and the parts of those plants, will lead to a discussion of how each of those parts helps to meet the needs of the plant. How plants are adapted to their surroundings, and the importance of plants to humans, are also emphasized. View the curriculum here. | This unit serves as an important introduction to the grade 2 Core Unit, Plant Growth. If possible, consult with the grade 2 teacher since it may be useful to coordinate some of the activities between the two grades. Also introduced in this unit are some of the concepts and ideas which may be developed in Foods, a grade 2 Optional Unit. The grade 3 Optional Unit Plant Structures and Adaptations provides a more detailed look at the ideas introduced in this unit. This topic is again dealt with in a grade 5 core unit, Plant Structure and Function. How plants are adapted to their surroundings is developed in optional units in grades four, and five. |
